wins state
Skills contest
Mary Persons High School rising jun
ior Jordan Harbin recently finished
eighth in the nation in the Skills USA
National Competition in Power
Equipment Technology. Jordan, who
had placed first in the region and
then state, went with his
advisor/teacher, Dwain Evans to
Kansas City, Missouri for a week-
long competition and leadership
training from June 20-25. Over 5,500
students from around the nation, in
cluding 144 from Georgia, competed
in 94 occupational and leadership skills areas where emphasis is placed on high ethical
standards, superior work skills, lifelong education and pride in the dignity of work. Skills
USA promotes the free enterprise system and involvement in community service. Jordan
obtained Skills Points to help Georgia place fourth out of all fifty states. Harbin’s mother
Debbie said the event was “an awesome experience for me as a parent” seeing the amaz
ing things that youth around the country are capable of doing. Debbie Harbin said Jordan
has always had a passion for working with his hands, and a knack for fixing engines. Jor
dan said as one of the younger competitors he was happy with finishing eighth and is
looking forward to competing again next year. “It was a pretty hard challenge, but it was a
great experience,” he said. Jordan said he loves tinkering with lawnmower and car en
gines and also works with alternative energy, having built his own solar panels. Jordan
said he would eventually like to run his own engine repair shop, which he said he hopes
will run exclusively on solar energy.

Treatments Recommended for Pink Eye
Pink eye is also known medically as conjunctivitis. It is an
inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye. The inflammation
can be caused by an infection, an allergy, or another type of
irritant. If related to an infection, the condition may be caused
by a virus or bacteria. Bacteria that commonly cause pink eye
are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and
Staphylococcus aureus. If the condition is caused by bacteria, a
pus-like discharge from the eye commonly occurs. If a virus is
the cause, the discharge is typically more watery. Signs and
symptoms of bacterial conjunctivistis include red eyes, swell
ing, and it.chiness.
Usually pink eye will go away in 1-2 weeks without treat
ment. However, antibacterial treatments are important for
reducing the duration of the infection, and also decreasing the
chance of spreading the condition to other people. Antibacteri
als administered to the eye as an eye drop for treatment
caused by bacteria include several drugs such as ciprofloxacin
(Ciloxan) and gatifloxacin (Zymar), sulfacetamide (Bleph-10),
and bacitracin-polymyxin B (Polysporin). If pink eye is caused
by a virus, an eye drop that contains a combination of an anti
histamine and a decongestant, such as Naphcon-A (napha-
zoline and pheniramine), may be used to alleviate itching and
irritation of the eye area.
